No arguments here. Me talking about how polarised us Malaysians are now and needing to lighten up was in response to someone's comment on our government sweeping racial issues under the rug. Just to add, I don't think they are being swept under the rug. In fact I think they are playing a big part in stirring racial sentiment.
If Suarez is punished, it will be unfortunate for us as he's been the 1 bright spark for us so far this season but what needs to be done, should be done. Doesn't matter that the term is widely accepted where he comes from because "when in Rome, do as Romans do". All I ask is the FA be consistent with charging players and meeting out punishment.
More importantly, I hope people speaking out against racism, asking for players to be prosecuted aren't hypocrites and racist themselves. One example is Yossi Benayoun being booed by a section of fans in Bukit Jalil for being Jewish. If Terry is convicted, I wonder how these fans would react? Similarly, I wonder what they think of Suarez's incident?
